Operation; Start Working; Interrupting Operation - Kärcher FC 5 Bedienungsanleitung

ATTENTION
The appliance must only be used for the intake of dirt
and fluids (max. 250 ml).
Before beginning your work, remove any objects, such
as shards, pebbles, screws or toy parts from the floor.
Before use, check the floor for water consistency at sus-
pect areas. Do not clean water-sensitive coatings, such
as untreated cork floors (moisture ingress is possible
which may damage the floor).
ATTENTION
After switching on the appliance, the cleaning rollers will
begin to rotate. Hold the handle tight to prevent the ap-
pliance from moving forwards by itself.
Make sure the fresh water tank is filled with water and
the waste water tank is fitted in the appliance.

ATTENTION
Before filling the fresh water tank, please empty the
waste water tank. In this way you can avoid overflowing

The water level must be checked at regular intervals to
prevent the waste water tank from overflowing. Do not
exceed the "MAX" marking.
ATTENTION
To ensure the stability of the appliance during down-
